Siem de Jong has confirmed via social media that he is finally ready to resume full training after missing the last month due to an eye problem.

The injury stricken 27-year-old was left with blood pouring down his face after the former Ajax player was caught by a stray finger in a freak training ground accident. The force of which damaged his contact lense and De Jong was rushed to hospital amid initial concerns that his sight may be affected. However, further tests revealed there was no lasting damage although De Jong was not allowed to train until he was given the green light from an eye specialist. On Sunday, the attacking midfielder tweeted: "Important win yesterday! Last few weeks had treatment on the eye. Tomorrow I can finally start individual training #nufc #backsoon." Feb 9 - 4:14 AM

Siem de Jong looks to be out for up to two weeks after being the victim of a potentially dangerous eye injury in training.

It looks as though de Jong will recover from an accidental eye poke in training, but when the injury occurred, he had blood pouring from it. He wears contact lenses and the contact in his right eye "had come out and gone into his eyes". It was severe enough that initial fears were that he could have done permanent damage to his vision in that eye, but after a trip to hospital he looks to be on the road to a full recovery.

Siem de Jong was removed late on with a head injury during Newcastle United's draw with Chelsea over the weekend, but Steve McClaren reports the Dutchman will be fine.

The last thing Newcastle could afford was another injury setback as they already have more first teamers on the shelf than any other club at the moment and word is out that Jack Colback has aggravated a knock in the same game and is a doubt for the weekend. With only 91 minutes played on the season, de Jong is still far off the fantasy radar on a club without many trustworthy prospects. Wed, Sep 30, 2015 12:04:00 PM

Triple blow for Newcastle following Saturdays’ defeat at the Liberty after the club confirmed that both Moussa Sissoko and Siem de Jong have picked up injuries while Daryl Janmaat will serve a 1-match ban following his sending-off against Swansea.

The Geordies endured a torrid time in Wales and were it not for some poor finishing, Newcastle could’ve been on the end of a real hammering. In the end 2-nil was not a fair reflection of the game. To compound matters news broke that Dutch playmaker De Jong had suffered a training ground shin injury which prevented him from travelling while fellow countryman Janmaat wasn’t able to see out the first half after an accumulation of fouls on Jefferson Montero resulted in 2-yellows. The full-back is now ruled out of next weekends’ trip to Old Trafford. Sissoko was also replaced at half-time. What was initially thought to be tactical was indeed enforced after it was revealed post-match that midfielder had a groin problem. Sun, Aug 16, 2015 04:31:00 PM
